want to become an uber driver, anyone have experience, advice,

My bro started doing it recently. It pays well and is an alright gig and works well for college students since you get free time to wait around for nearby folk.

Obvious advice is be picky about who and where to get people. You might lose a bit of potential cash, sure, but it's better to miss out on that than risk some scumbag tryjng to rob you. Not to scare you or anything, just ise common sense and you will be fine. Also knowing locations/having GPS is great. Finally, be talkative. 9/10 Uber passengers are hipsters of some sort, they love to talk. Good luck anon.

thanks bro, that kind of advice really helps. I would have thought uber would be pretty safe as they need credit card /bank details linked to the account so no smart person would try to rob you when it can easily be traced back to them, or is there something i'm missing?

The only Uber advice you need to know:

Don't go to or through the nastyass ghettoes in your area. They exist, they exist everywhere, they exist entirely for the purpose of robbing and killing you. Uber isn't going to send a flying superhero to beat up the random strangers who put a knife to your throat.

>these people don't even have jobs!

They ain't calling a dude because they want to get to work.

I'm not saying don't use Uber. I'm saying use your head while using Uber because Uber isn't going to do one motherfucking thing to help you if a psychopath or desperate drug addict enters your car. Likewise, if you enter the car of one of these people then Uber will similarly do jack shit to save the day.

>you're making danger up! danger doesn't actually exist!

It's not Uber's fault; it's individuals' faults. Assess individuals carefully before getting into a care with them, and choose routes carefully.
